Configure display of connections to a referenced class

Configure how to display connections to a referenced class and from a referencing class on Unified Map. A reference connects two CIs from differing classes that aren't connected by a relationship. These are general settings that only sn_cmdb_admin can configure.

These workspace-specific configuration settings affect all users of the CMDB Unified Map page. The settings do not affect other copies of the Unified Map template. Non-admin users can customize some aspects of their personal experience with Unified Map, but can't configure instance-wide workspace-specific settings.

References connect CIs from two classes that don't have a direct relationship connection between them. On the map, any two CIs from the referenced class and from the referencing class appear connected by a dotted line. The relationship type is Reference. There are several preconfigured map references that you can modify, and you can also add map references.

For example, you want the map to display references to records in the File System table for Windows Server CI records. In that case, Server ABC (referencing CI) shows connections to the C:\ and D:\ file systems (referenced CIs).
